New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by five wickets in their last league match on Thursday to all but secure fourth position on the log.
Table-toppers India, South Africa and Australia have already booked their places in the final-four of the 10-team tournament.
NEW ZEALAND
Played: 9, Points: 10, Net run-rate: 0.743
Runners-up in the previous two editions, New Zealand can now only wait for Pakistan and Afghanistan to finish their league stage. But barring a miracle the Black Caps are set to face India in the first semi-final in Mumbai on 15 November.
PAKISTAN
Played: 8, Points: 8, Net run-rate: 0.036
Remaining match: vs England (in Kolkata on Saturday)
Pakistan have to win their final match by at least 287 runs. If England bat first and are kept to 150, Pakistan must chase down the target in 3.4 overs.
AFGHANISTAN
Played: 8, Points: 8, Net run-rate: -0.338
Remaining match: vs South Africa (in Ahmedabad on Friday)
Afghanistan need to win by at least 438 runs to surpass New Zealand on net run-rate. The Afghans also have the worst run-rate among the three teams.
